Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to perform all tasks needed to ensure your pet’s safety. I have worked with pets with avoidant/aggressive behaviors towards other animals and will work to ensure your pet’s comfortability.

Information Alyssa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog’s energy level, compatibility with other people/animals, and special needs they may have so I can best prepare to care for your pet.

A typical day

I love to explore local trails and take dogs to unique and new places. I am a runner and can keep up with high-energy dogs. However, I’m also a fan of hanging out at home or on short walks with low-energy dogs, and I give a mean belly rub.

I have been working with Rover for 5 years, in addition to years of experience caring for pets through friends and neighbors. I am active and enjoy exploring local trails and would love to take your pet on an adventure. I have personally owned and cared for cats, dogs, and fish (including a county fair goldfish for 5+ years). Experience with puppies, senior care, pet hygiene (bathing and nail trimming), reptiles, birds, and multi-pet households.

I always love working with Alyssa on Rover. She is so sweet and follows all directions perfectly. She always leaves very sweet updates and photos for me and responds quickly. I am very thankful for her when we go out of town to check on my kitties. Thank you Alyssa!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
